Pros

Cons
Slow, sluggish, lack of direction from many (mostly white and male) middle management. An organisation that knows it needs to change but doesn't know how.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Nationwide Building Society full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Work life balance , pension.
Cons
Pay is lower than market average, poor poor location, little to no progression opportunities, lack of diversity - majority are white and middle class, extremely slow paced, a lot of senior people don’t seem to have a clue what they are doing, extremely poor management and leadership. A strategy that no one understand and knows how to deliver. People stay here for a long time which means same boring ideas and ways...

Reward and look after your employees, pay more, create clear opportunities to develop, re-train managers as they are too old school and not moving with the changing environment.

Any excuse the company can use, will be used to stop you getting a half decent end of year rating, which in turn stops you getting...
